Women have always been part of the story of wine — in the vineyard, the cellar, and across the industry shaping its future.
Today we raise a glass to the women helping move South African wine forward. 🍷

Syrah doesn't do subtle.
Rich, dark, spiced — the wine equivalent of a good plot twist.
Happy International Syrah Day. Pour accordingly. 🍷

Tim James is spot on!
"Such wineries are not only helping collapse the institution, but, I’d suggest, also failing the wine-drinking community and tourists."
Jamie Goode’s The Science of Tasting Wine is still the clearest thinking on red wine—cause and effect, not romance.
That’s how we build Hiervandaan at Solms-Delta: tannin structure, phenolic balance, and evolution over time—not how it tastes on day one. #redwine#jamiegoode
Today, we pause for Reconciliation Day.
South African wine carries a complex past and a shared responsibility. We don't pretend that a single day resolves that. But we do believe in doing the work and building something that reflects the full story of this land and its people.
